DISPOSITIF DE DISTRIBUTION D'EAU ANTI-GEL
The invention relates to a device for dispensing water, intended in particular to be fitted to water points installed in areas that may be subjected to negative temperatures, such as rest areas on motorways. The device comprises a water-dispensing pipe (2) having: an external portion (2a) suitable for being arranged outside a thermally insulated unit (3) and for supplying water by means of an outlet opening (2b); and an internal portion (2c) connected to a first channel (4) of a valve (5) having at least three channels (4, 6, 9), which valve can be arranged inside the insulated unit and controlled by a control means (7) that can be actuated from the outside, said valve comprising a second channel (6) that can be connected to a water source and a closure element which can move, by means of the control means, between an open position, in which the first channel communicates only with the second channel to supply the outlet opening, and a closed position, in which the two channels do not communicate. The dispensing pipe is suitable for being arranged through a non-horizontal wall (3a) that ensures the insulated unit is thermally insulated. In the closed position, the first channel communicates solely and systematically with the third channel. In this way, in the closed position, all or some of the residual water content in the non-insulated portion of the dispensing pipe is automatically discharged owing to gravity and draught via the third channel.
